“Amber does a great job watching my dog when I'm away. She communicates well and sends updates with pictures, which I really appreciate. She has watched my dog other times as well and I will continue to ask for her help when needed. Thanks Amber!”
About: Hi there! I have been pet sitting for a couple of years and have also been employed at a dog training and daycare for roughly seven months. While I was there, I learned all about dog behavior and how to handle it when things get rough. I am comfortable around animals and my ability to recognize their needs. I adopted a kitten one year ago and have loved taking care of him. I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I am now only taking care of my cat but still love dogs deeply. I work a time variable job. During the week I’m usually up and out of the house by 5:30-6am and home by 3. Sometimes that varies. I’ve been home by noon some days. That being said if your dog needs potty breaks frequently, I would not be the best option for you. It’s important to me and your pet that I keep them comfortable and safe. I love to give animals the time and attention they deserve!!
“Tonisha is a very reliable dog friend! She’s been ready to hang with our dog on short notice and been flexible with changing schedules. Our dog always seems very happy to see her & we feel lucky & happy that Tonisha takes good care of our buddy!”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”
“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”
“I am so thrilled to have found Tania. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog Bear with her while I was on vacation. She sent regular updates and pictures which I loved. During our meet and greet she made sure all of my questions were answered and was very professional. You can definitely see she cares so much about each dog she watches. I will definitely be taking Bear back to her whenever I can! Thank you!”
“Laura is definitely an experienced and reliable care taker. She knew all the questions to ask to make sure that my dog would be taken care of while I was away. She gave me daily updates of my dog's visit, what my dog spent her time doing, and how she was eating. Chloe loved the backyard to play around in and - from what I saw - made herself right at home. I would happily trust her with my dog again!”
“It was such a great experience with Amber during the holidays! This was our first leaving our puppy and I'm glad it was a positive experience. Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule. Thank you Amber for taking care of Simba! 🐾”
“Ashley was super clear communicating and went above and beyond for my two cane corso mastiff mixes. My 5 month old puppy had almost no socialization and her 4 dogs were amazing with her. My older dog did happen to go into heat and Ashley was the perfect sitter for her!!!”
“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”
“Clarissa took great care of our dog while we were gone for a week. She gave us plenty of updates and photos along the way and we could tell that our dog was cozy and comfortable there. We’ve used her several times as our pet sitter and will continue to do so. She’s great!”
“Dina did an awesome job with my Lady. She kept me informed about what was going on with it. I will be recommending her to all my friends. Will definitely use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nicholasville
If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathryn highly enough! While I was away on a mission trip, Oreo stayed with her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kathryn is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about every dog she watches. One of my favorite parts of the experience was receiving daily photos of Oreo. Seeing her happy, relaxed, and having fun made being away from her so much easier and reassured me that she was receiving exceptional care. When I picked Oreo up, it was obvious she had been well loved and well cared for. She truly enjoyed her time with Kathryn, and I know she'll be excited to stay with her again in the future. If you're searching for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter, Kathryn is simply the best. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. We are so grateful for everything you did!

There are 235 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Nicholasville. About 96% of Nicholasville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
